Re: PAL License Delay
I was stupid. I was going to renew online but one thing led to another and it expired. Had to do the whole application process all over but it allowed me to upgrade to an RPAL. Mailed everything off February 27th. Phoned on the 17th, not yet received. Phoned on 24th, not received. Phoned on the 31st, not received. Checked online and it said received and completed initial processing. why the discrepancy? Looked close at the date and it was from 2006, my initial PAL application that I had had for 11 years. Phoned again on April 3rd and spoke with a very sympathetic, intelligent lady. She checked and indicated that it had actually just been received and processed. She checked that it was complete, which it was. Then gave me a file number and telephone number and extension and told me to have my reference call them to speed it along. Friday the 7th I checked the website and it said that my RPAL had been issued and should arrive within 2 weeks. I received it on April 18th, 7 weeks after sending it off. Be persistent. keep phoning and politely inquiring and they will get tired of you and process the application to get you out of their hair. Have your reference call rather than waiting for them to call your reference because that causes a huge delay playing telephone tag.
Good luck.

Frank, we gotta get rid of this broad. I know a great place up the road. Lots of alligators.
Marvin: If there's one thing I know, it's women and covert operations.
Frank: Marvin, that's two things.
